It was great to recently work on Ziauddin Sardar's latest book cover for his new title A Person of Pakistani Origins, published by Hurst. In the past I also worked on Sardar's book Mecca. Both seen below...

I was delighted to hear that two books I designed covers for have both been shortlisted for the Football Book of the Year Award. The Billionaires Club and Quiet Genius were both published by Bloomsbury.

I recently worked with Matthew Curtis Fleischer all the way in Oklahoma City on the cover of his book The Old Testament Case for Nonviolence. It's the first time I've worked with a self-publishing author on a book cover.

I was honoured to be asked by Peloton Press to design the cover of Graham Taylor's autobiography. Written in the two years before he died, In His Own Words is an intimate depiction of how English football changed during the forty years of his career and a lasting portrait of a man whose humour and decent values saw him cherished by so many.

I was thrilled to hear that the F2 app that I designed for Blink Publishing has been shortlisted in the FutureBook 2017 Awards. I designed the app – developed in-house by Blink – to run along side the F2 book which I also designed.

Here's another new cover for Hurst Publishers, The National Debt: A Short History by Martin Slater. Hurst wanted a simple yet striking cover for this accessible book and I did this by creating a rubber stamp to print the title.

I really enjoyed working on this cover for Hurst Publishers. In the wake of the decision in the 2016 UK Referendum to leave the EU, attention has focused on the Commonwealth as one possible element in the realignment of Britain’s trade and diplomacy. Philip Murphy considers the relevance of the modern Commonwealth to the UK and to its other 51 member states. Despite periodic attempts to reinvent it, the book argues that it increasingly seems little more than a mirage on the international horizon: as lacking in substance as the Emperor’s new clothes.

It's been great to start working with Hurst Publishers on some book covers recently. First up to show is Why We Fight by Mike Martin. The book is a rollercoaster ride through genetics, psychology and the history of war, searching for the reasons behind our impulse for violence.

I was thrilled to hear that Universal Pictures has bought the film rights for Natalie C. Anderson's YA novel City of Saints & Thieves. I worked with Oneworld Publications earlier this year to produce the book cover for Anderson's debut and I can't wait to see it adapted for the big screen.

I've recently started working with publisher Tales From on their series of story-telling from around various football clubs from across the country. Below is the cover I designed for the latest edition of Tales From The Red & Whites, which has stories from past Sunderland players. The illustrated cover shows the 11 players through the kits they wore during their time at the club.

I represented Swindon Town FC in the Football Crest Index project. My piece used a quote from a commentator, coupled with an illustration from Swindon's 1969 victory in the League Cup final against Arsenal.
